Having Your Juvenile Record Sealed in New York

If you were adjudicated a Juvenile Delinquent in family court in the State of New York, it is very likely that records of your case were most likely already automatically sealed. If for some reason your record was not sealed, a sealing motion may be filed in the family court where your case was originally heard.

New York Family Court Act Section 375.2 provides the court may seal records of a juvenile case that resulted in a finding of delinquency, if the finding of delinquency was not a finding that that the petitioner committed a designated felony. The judge can seal the records if the he or she finds the sealing to be in the interest of justice. The motion must be filed after the juvenile has turned 16 years old. If the sealing is denied, there is a one-year waiting period before you can refile for the relief.

Sealing means that records held by the police department, the court, the district attorney, and the probation department will be sealed and treated as if they never existed. If someone asks these agencies about a sealed record, the law requires the agencies to answer that they "have no record of that matter." The law says that you can legally say that you were not adjudicated or arrested.
